Chapter 1141: True Cooperation
Tokyo.
After many days of sunny days, the water outside the city finally slowly receded, which made everyone in Tokyo breathe a sigh of relief.
"Keep handing out the food!"
Li Gang said to the soldiers, in order to appease the people, Tokyo is now distributing food per capita every day.
"Master Li, you can't last long if you do this."
Hou Meng, the head of the household, looked at Li Gang and said, in order to help the people during this time, the grain and grass were consumed quickly.
Li Gang has recently been promoted by Zhao Huan to a scholar of the Zhengdian University because of his meritorious efforts in stabilizing the situation in the city, and is in charge of the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture.
"I've calculated, a month or two is enough!"
Li Gang said lightly, he has counted the grain stocks in Tokyo, although it has been smuggled and resold a lot, but after all, Tokyo has been the capital of the country for more than 100 years, and the granary in the city is very large, and the only remaining grain and grass is enough for temporary emergencies.
"Master Li! If you send it like this, the granary will be empty in three months! Do you know what happens when the granary is empty? ”
Hou Meng glared at Li Gang and shouted, as the national capital, if there is a shortage of food, there will be chaos in the world.
"The water outside the city has long since receded in three months! The autumn harvest in other places has long been over, and the transshipment envoys from all over the country will bring the grain! ”
Li Gang shook his head and said, the most important thing now is to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, as long as the people's hearts are not chaotic, Tokyo will not be chaotic.
"In addition, I have already written to Your Majesty that the deficit in the granary of Tokyo must be investigated! The country has no savings for nine years, and it is said to be insufficient; Without six years of savings, it is said to be urgent; Without three years of savings, it is said that the country is not its country. How can only three months of grain remain in Tokyo's granary? ”
Li Gang looked at Hou Meng coldly, food is always the most important, but these corrupt officials in Tokyo even dare to do anything in the national granary.
"What are you watching me do, it's the grain I stole again! I became the head of the household, the grain depot is cleaner than my face, I have saved some food in the past two years, and the army has been used to fight everywhere from me, am I easy? You want to join me? Okay, good, whoever can do it will do it! ”
The good-tempered Hou Meng suddenly pointed at Li Gang's nose and scolded, his gray beard was windless, he was counted down by a young man who was nearly thirty years old, where could he still endure this anger.
"What about the accounts? It has nothing to do with you, and I won't join you! ”
Li Gang opened his mouth and said, he knew that Hou Meng was not a greedy person, otherwise he would not have been on the chapter of the Ten Things at the beginning, and the loss of the granary must have been done by the previous officials.
"Accounts? Before I took office, the household department went to water, and it was long gone! Do you want to check? Believe it or not, tomorrow the granary will catch fire! The water is deep! There are so many people! It's up to you! I don't need to explain the truth here! ”
Hou Meng said disdainfully, Li Gang just hasn't been able to turn the sky upside down.
While the two were arguing, there was a commotion near the city wall, and a wet soldier was seen pulled up by a hanging basket.
"Oh no, Taiyuan Mansion is defeated!"
As soon as the soldiers went up to the city, they began to weep, for the news had not been heard for a few days because of the flood.
Hearing the shout, Li Gang's face changed greatly, and the people who received the food on the street were also in a commotion, and they were queuing up one by one in no order, scrambling to get the food.
The defeat of the army means that the enemy is coming, and the city gate will not be able to be opened at that time, and at this time the storage of food is the most critical.
News of the defeat spread quickly, and panic spread throughout Tokyo at the same time.
Wan Yan Gao was laughing and drinking in the embassy at this time, Wan Yan Xiyin and Wan Yan Zongjun were also laughing and drinking to celebrate, and the victory on the front line was what they needed most.
"Uncle, the next time I see those Song officials, I have to humiliate them and dare to put us in prison, hum!"
Wanyan Zongjun said.
"No, the more this time, the more we should express our sincerity, so that we can ask for more!"
Wanyan Xiyin opened his mouth and said, humiliating the enemy can only be temporary, and there is no substantial gain at all.
"It's all free, we won, we have a point, say it to Hedong, there is no news until now, it's time for them to be anxious!"
Wan Yan Gao laughed and said, fists are the last word, this is an eternal truth.
"Report, King Kang is here!"
A servant came to report.
"Let him wait outside!"
Wan Yan Gao smiled and continued to drink, while Wan Yan Xiyin and Wan Yan Zongjun laughed.
Zhao Gou was sitting in the hall of the embassy, and the servants did not come out again after going to the back hall to report, and there were not even two tea deliveries.
"His Royal Highness King Kang, it may be that there is something important to deal with after the Prime Minister of Wanyan!"
Luan Tingyu smiled awkwardly and helped Zhao Gou find the steps, of course he knew that Wan Yan Gao did it on purpose, but he didn't have any way.
"It's okay!"
Zhao Gou was not in a hurry, just leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
After a long time, Wan Yan Gao, who was full of alcohol, walked out slowly, and then ignored Zhao Gou and sat directly on the main seat.
"Wanyan is so good, Yaxing, are you so happy?"
Zhao Gou looked at Yan Gao and asked.
"Haven't your Majesty consented yet? Last time, you swore you could call the shots! ”
Wan Yan Gao looked at Zhao Gou and said.
"I'm afraid our cooperation is going to change, and Hedong is no longer in our hands...... Of course...... It's not in your hands! ”
Zhao Gou's words were paused, which made Wan Yan Gao frown.
"What do you mean?"
Wan Yan Gao looked at Zhao Gou.
"You should have heard that my Song army was defeated, but do you know that the people of Liangshan suddenly entered Hedong from Hebei, and your Jin army was also defeated.
Zhao Gou looked at Yan Gao and said.
"Impossible, obviously ......"
Wan Yan Gao couldn't believe it, his current news channels all relied on rumors in the city, he glanced at Luan Tingyu, and saw that Luan Tingyu was also shocked, and he doubted the authenticity of Zhao Gou's news.
"The news I just got should start spreading now!"
Zhao Gou said.
Wan Yan Gao's eyes were dull, if it spread in the city, it would be true, Zhao Song had no reason to release fake news, which would not do Zhao Song any good, and it would make Zhao Song look extremely weak and embarrassed.
Luan Tingyu looked at Zhao Gou in disbelief, he didn't even know the news at all, but he was ecstatic in his heart, Qi won and conquered the city, isn't this what he wants to see?
"Wanyan Guoxiang, I think we should really cooperate!"
Zhao Gou looked at Wan Yan Gao, Jin Guo was very ambitious, and this time he wanted to occupy Hedong, but the appearance of Liangshan disrupted Jin Guo's wishful thinking.
"It's time to really cooperate!"
Wan Yan Gao had calmed down at this time, their Jin Kingdom had always looked down on Zhao Song, and of course the incompetent and cowardly Zhao Song did not deserve their respect.
But the sudden appearance of Qi Guo made him feel threatened, and if he didn't unite all his forces, they would not be safe.
"His Majesty the Emperor invites the Minister of State to attend the court meeting tomorrow!"
Zhao Gou got up and said, this is the task he came to today.
After speaking, he took his leave, leaving only Wan Yan Gao to sit in a daze.
"Uncle, how can this be? That's an army of 100,000! ”
Wanyan Zongjun ran out and said, Ulzhou plus Hedong, they have invested a total of 100,000 troops, which is enough to level the Central Plains.
"We underestimated Qi Guo!"
Wan Yan Gao popped out these words between his teeth.
